Create annotations above bar plot bars

Iā€™m generating a grouped bar chart and have text displaying within the bars. I figured out how to add annotations directly above each bar group (for each category on the x axis). However currently the annotation is displaying above the bar relative to the whole bar group - not the individual bars. As you can see I have 5 bars. How can I get the x position of each individual bar so that I can put the annotation in the right position?

I have a screenshot here to illustrate this.

This is the code that I have so far:

  #configure the layout
    layout = go.Layout(
            title=chart_title,
            annotations=[
                dict(
                    x=xpos,
                    y=float(ypos.strip('%')),
                    xref='x',
                    yref='y',
                    text=str(count),
                    showarrow=True,
                    arrowhead=1
                ) for xpos, ypos, count in zip(dates, percents_by_category, counts_list)
            ],
            yaxis=dict(
                title="My Title",
                ticksuffix="%"),
            xaxis=dict(
                title="Date"),
            barmode='group',
            plot_bgcolor='rgb(233,233,233)')

    fig = go.Figure(data=traces, layout=layout)
    plot(fig, filename='grouped-bar-chart')
